While the intersectionality of contemporary art, music, streetwear, and culinary concepts may seem alien to most, it is not the case for the rising generation of young collectors across Asia’s art capitals. Millennial Hong Kong-born entrepreneur Kevin Poon is a leading example.
“I believe that art, music, fashion, and hospitality are interconnected, “ Poon shares, “particularly within the millennial generation. The convergence of these fields is further enhanced by technology. This realisation has inspired me to explore the intersections of these disciplines and embrace the synergies they offer.”
THE MULTI-HYPHENATE
Over the past two decades, he has been making a name for himself in Asian youth culture by launching the streetwear brand, Clot, in 2003 with his best friend from Hong Kong International School, Cantopop icon Edison Chen.
Poon has also launched trendy hospitality and retail venues in his city of birth, such as micro-roaster Elephant Grounds and a cosy 18-seater speciality restaurant Wagyumafia HK. Most recently, he opened a rooftop terrace Cardinal Point at the top of Gloucester Tower, featuring an outdoor bar, an arts club, as well as Japanese, Chinese, and French restaurants.
